General Description
This feature permits ports that do not physically exist to be used as sub-lines on D
term
stations. Ports normally
reserved on a D
term
for data stations only, can be assigned as a SOFTWARE LINE APPEARANCE. Additionally,
64 software ports have been added to a Port Interface Module. The 64 software-assigned ports can be assigned as
virtual line appearances on D
term
stations. The use of the data ports and the 64 software-assigned ports conserve
valuable hardware for stations and trunks.
